Maybe we could actually provide the native glibj.zip file reading

might not be such a bad idea since almost every runtime will need zlib
to load the bootstrap classes and resources. The only trick is to make
it flexible enough to be integrated into the various ways runtimes load
classes.
Archie, I believe you said you had such code for JCVM and that you would
consider donating that to GNU Classpath for use with other runtimes. If
you have and want to could you send that code to the (patches) list?
Do other runtime implementers think they would adopt such shared
bootstrap class loading code, or is that something that is too wired
into the actual runtime to be easy to share in a generic way?
